Erections??

Question

Recently i was informed that men have @ least four erections per night, what does this mean? what is the actual erection process.

Answer 1

you see we dream up to 20 times a night. the only time you remeber a dream is when you wake up from it. So all that dreaming your bound to have a couple naughty ones. Its called REM sleep. read about it.

Answer 2

Okay I will try and explain how erections happen but you will be most amazed by the fact that most of the time (at least in young men ) we don't do anything. Also, you will have to put up with a long explanation. In order to have sex a male penis must be erect. That erection is related to physical health, mental health, and emotional health (ego) If a male is threatened or scared or has anxiety about sex he may not be able to get erect. Erections occur when more blood is pumped into the special tissue in the penis than can leave. The arteries carry blood to the penis and the veins carry blood away from the penis. When the brain gives the command the arteries dilate (become very large) and more blood is pumped into the penis than can be carried away by the smaller veins. The result is the penis becomes engourged with blood and becomes erect. When erect it becomes more sensitive and sexual arousal is easier. The following things will trigger the command in the brain so that an erection occurs. Physical stimulation (the boy or other person touch and rubs the penis), visual stimulation (the boy sees a girl, a picture, or woman in a form of undress that triggers an erection) Males are genetically engineered to be set off by visual stimulations. This is one reason why most users of pornography are males. In childhood and early puberty (5 to 13) boys can get spontaneous erections. The brain just decides to trigger an erection. This is very embarrassing to boys because it happens at school, while at play, in front their girl friends, in the shower during PE. The boy does nothing to cause this it just happens really! Girls think boys are always horny and that is true for teen agers but boys don't do it the hormones do it to them. Mental stimulation, sometimes just thinking about a special girl or having masturbated last night etc. will stimulate an erection. Boys get no rest while they sleep either. While a boy sleeps at night he usually has up to 7 erections in his sleep. And if he has not masturbated for several days and is of the age to produce semen he may have an orgasm in his sleep ( a wet dream ) in which he shoots semen all over his PJ's or briefs and the bed sheets. It is usually a rather large amount. Then in the morning he wakes up with a very hard erection that is the result of pressure from a full urinary bladder on the veins in his penis. That has to be dealt with in some way so he can urinate. Erections are very much a part of a man's life. In our youth we do not do a lot to cause them they just happen. As we mature and enter puberty we learn to take charge of our sexuality and to control them to some degree but not totally. A man can cause an erection by physical stimulation, visual stimulation, sex play with a partner, or mental stimulation or fantasy. And most men use those things to get erections at private moments in order to masturbate in private and release all that sexual tension. When a man gets a partner then she helps release all the sexual tension and love making or having sex envolves physical, visual, and emotional stimulus

Answer 3

There is a little tube inside the penis that normally limits blood flow to the penis, but when the man is aroused, the tube is openned up and the penis fills with blood. The special tissue that makes up the penis becomes rigid.
But the man doesn't have to be sexually aroused for the tube to allow more bloodflow and create an erection. When a boy is in puberty it can happen once in a while almost at random.

It also happens several times a night while a guy is asleep, not necessarily because he is dreaming about sex, but because the body just goes through normal cycles.

Answer 4

"All men who are physically able to achieve an erection do so during sleep, typically several times in a night. This is called nocturnal penile tumescence, and typically happens during REM sleep. The average male has an erection for a total of 100 minutes a night, and it is not uncommon for the erection to be present when he wakes up. This is utilized by sexual health practitioners to ascertain whether cases of erectile dysfunction are psychological or physiological in nature. Patients presenting with impotence are fitted with an elastic device worn around the penis which detects changes in girth and relays the information to a computer for later analysis. Men who obtain spontaneous erections in their sleep but not during waking hours are therefore considered to suffer from some form of psychosomatic condition, i.e. sexual anxiety disorder, which prevents them performing sexually."

There are many theories as to why this happens. As a broad statement, they extend health from bloodflow to keeping a male from urinating during sleep.

There are many posts about the process but just in case you are wondering it doesn't mean your man is dreaming of strippers. It's natural and has nothing to do with what is going on mentally. Although we do dream of strippers occasionally.

Answer 5

Well, I'll say thats true for most guys, I could happen in the morning rite before you get up of have a full blatter, or you just have a random thought come into to your head or dreams and arrose you! It's normal!

Answer 6

Answer 7

you must have been misinformed...guys have enough sperm to ejaculate 10 times a day. well first the penis gets really stiff and hard (like 3-6+inches in growth) and then when it gets to "that point" you'll ejaculate or c u m (thats when that creamy white stuff comes out called sperm)

Answer 8

Usually every four hours you get an errection for no reason.
